Flying into Bangkok these days is a very sobering experience. You see lots and lots of land still flooded and a very much still suffering the effects of the flooding. Some places are passable in terms of transportation. Others are not and major highways are still not operating normally with lanes closed and such. Store shelves are not full and people are still coping from continuing flooding that will take some time before it disappears completely in many areas.

I hope they pull out of this ok. Looks like it's still a bit risky as destination zone for vacation though I'm sure they could use the tourist $ about now. Tickets to BKK are cheap but who knows what it will be like w/ trying to recover.

Yeah, I assumed the northern parts were in ok shape. Truth is, I kind of liked BKK as a city when I visited this summer and wanted to check it out in more detail.

Chiang Mai was ok but I thought it was horrendously touristy - maybe I just didn't get away enough.

In any case - thanks again.

I was going to go somewhere else, but flights to Bangkok are not that expensive right now.

Are there a lot of tourists still going there?
